Idiom of the Day:

“Fender bender”

If you are involved in a

“fender bender,” then it means you have been in a minor car accident. Fender benders usually mean that someone has hit you from the rear, or maybe you accidentally hit them. Fender benders do not cause injuries to people, only to the car. Having a flat tire is not a fender bender, nor is sliding on an slippery road and hitting a road sign. A fender bender means another person’s vehicle is involved.
